practical, and functional... I hope.</div>

Mythtv expects sole and complete controle on any tuner
it uses. So<br>
you cannot share tuners between 2 use cases, but you can
split the 2<br>
tuners between 2 use cases. So one dedicated to one and
the other to<br>
another. So configure both for using only one tuner on
the hdhr.<br>

<div> I have a HDHR Dual tuner and a quad tuner. I can
define in Mythtv the number of tuners I want to record
from and select both tuners to create a pool of tuners
to choose from automatically.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, Mythtv is defined with 4 tuners enabling
both the HDHR DUO and HDHR Quatro. So even if all four
recording tuners are being used I still have 2 tuners
somewhere. That way HDHR Android app can watch live TV
from a phone without interfering with Mythtv recordings.
I also use Schedules Direct for EPG. That way there is
no background usage of a tuner</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This has been a feature of Mythtv for a long while
now. I've used this feature on v32 and v33 but now I'm
on V34 (Master). It has something to do with TCP usage
vs. UDP. As long as you don't have any ancient software
like TV-Headend on the same network this method should
work fine. </div>

It sounds like you don't intend for the master backend to be on
24/7, just the slave. I don't think that's supported. Maybe the RPI
can be the master, but with no storage directories for recording? It
will also need access to a database 24/7 to store the EPG it
collects.<br>
